The date format used by the default /etc/rsyslogd.conf may be wrong in
CentOS 5.5, and I'm guessing RedHat's rsyslog-3.22.1-3.

I renamed rsyslog.conf to rsyslog.conf.back and reinstalled rsyslog just to
make sure I got a good rsyslog.conf file.
What it should display as is this (for logwatch to be able to see):
Nov 6 21:25:31 valhala sshd[579]: Accepted password for someone from
192.168.1.12 port 61275 ssh2
This provided the clue I needed:

I have Fedora 13 running in a VMWare session, and this line from F13's
rsyslog.conf, seems to do this trick:
$ActionFileDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat
